It was okay probably 3.0 rating but I got to the last 100 pages and the book lost me that I almost didn't finish. 

***edit: The more I think about this book. The more I hate it.
What is consent my dear reader? The main LI doesn't know. I hate that character more and more. Acts like he knows what's best for the MC. I also don't like the MC.

Do you like steamy romance with very clear consent? Yeah. Then this book is not for you. 

Also- why… just WHY are the two people that are “bound” to the main (white) characters the only fleshed out characters of Color? Gross. Racist and gross.

I kept thinking, okay maybe I am missing something. But no. We’ve got virginity tropes, “I know better that you about your own safety” tropes, and an age gap that feels as yucky as Rhys and Feyre’s would’ve had the batboy not understood the meaning of no. 

Skip it.

mamma mia quanto ho sclerato per questo libro!!! 
Per non parlare del personaggio maschile, Hawke perché non decidi di sposare me? 
Non c'è spicy almeno per adesso però boh vedremo nei prossimi che leggerò assolutamente. 
Di solito non amo particolarmente la scrittura della Armentrout ma questa volta l'ho trovata carina, però è innegabile il fatto che si sia ispirata alla Maas e alla Bardugo.

El libro no se desarrolla a una velocidad constante. Es lento al inicio y tiene momentos muy drásticos. Me han gustado los Plottwist peeero no le he dado más estrellitas porque tiene un trope de engaño que no me gusta. Además, que la emoción que más me ha generado es enojo. Pero aun así es un libro genial.

There was a lot of lag in the middle. In the beginning, I was amused and invested, turning page after page. Then it hit a rut and again in the last 200 pages it was a pageturner.

It was ok. The plot was interesting but the things in between felt like too much information and filler. Sex scenes weren’t written well. For the first 200 pages you are confused, and for the nest pages you contunde to be confused but now with more information. I really wanted to know Howe the story ends, so o went through all these pages. It’s ok., not my cup of tea. It’s probably one of the better books in the series.
